“United” – Evolution of Our Name

The time is now, a new era has dawned. Atlanta has welcomed the beautiful game.

Atlanta was born as a railroad town and today is a global hub for travel and commerce. It is in our DNA to connect and unite.

Atlanta United joined Major League Soccer in 2017, breaking multiple league records on the way to the playoffs in its inaugural season. The club set the MLS record for season ticket sales as well as records for single-game, single-season average, and total home attendance.

Owned by one of the city’s most influential businessmen and philanthropists, Arthur M. Blank, and led by club President Darren Eales, Atlanta United plays its home matches at state-of-the-art Mercedes-Benz Stadium located in downtown Atlanta.

Atlanta is a modern, international city that embraces all its citizens, creating an inclusive fan base that is progressive and passionate. A fan base that becomes one voice. We all gather together and stand united.

We are a football club because we are more than just the team: we are the fans, we are the community, we are Atlanta, taken from the voices of the citizens.
